Abu Dhabi will continue importing gasoline for at least a year to meet domestic demand until a new $10 billion refinery begins producing the fuel 12 months from now, officials with the state oil company said.

“We’re balanced on most products, except for gasoline,” said Sultan Al Mehairi, marketing and refining director at Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. “That’s the focus of our new refinery.”
